A spy exchange is conducted on the Bulgarian border, with CI5 secretly getting notorious double-agent Stefan Batak back on British soil.
Doyle goes undercover as a journalist to investigate Batak's beautiful London-based daughter, who's studying classical piano at a college in the city.
When Doyle comes under fire, it appears that Batak's return isn't as secretive as they'd hoped - and a series of twists and double-crosses leave both Batak and his daughter in deadly danger.
This is quite a workmanlike episode - not a remarkable one, but a good espionage drama where things are never quite what they seem. Carol Royle is the real star here as the gorgeous Anna Batak, and gives an excellent and engaging performance. There are some well-staged action set-pieces too, as well as some nice touches of humour - Martin Shaw's ad-libbed 'Burke and Hare' quip makes for an amusing retort at one stage, and his brawl outside a church where a wedding is taking place is fun and well-choreographed.
It makes for a pretty solid episode from the third season that's cleverly plotted and keeps you guessing till the end.
